These couches are hostile furnishings for the home. Designed with a center console that acts as a physical barrier between you and The Wife™. Complete with cup holders, motorized reclining action, and a storage compartment where you can keep your Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition collection.
There is no space on this couch for any form of physical intimacy.
You say that, but while I may feel an increase in discomfort when my partner invades my sofa space for a hug, I never fall asleep so soundly and happily as when she’s there. Better than any bed.
